Jan 5, 2007 Bottle (From Middle Farm, Nr Lewes, BB Dec 07). Deep oily brown with quite a dark head. Roasty malts liquorice and lots of smoky wood to start. Fairly dry with some roasty bitterness and lots of woodyness on the finish. Pretty good with the slightly OTT woody flavours being quite tasty.

Feb 16, 2003 Medicinal nose with peppermint, malt and coffee. In taste and smell it reminds a little bit on the brewers Imperial Extra Double Stout, it is like it's little brother. Dark brown color with hints of red. Medium´frothy head, leaving laces. Coffee and peppermint taste. Sour, almost like buttermilk, but thin, medium lasting.

Dec 17, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Jerc: Poured a deep black color porter with a small foamy head with limited retention and no lacing. Aroma of roasted bitter malt with some light dry coffee notes. Taste is also dominated by some roasted coffee notes with some light sweet notes. Body is very average with some medium to low carbonation. No a lot of complexity in this beer but very enjoyable nonetheless.

Jul 19, 2003 Bottled. Hmmmm beer my trustworthy friend…. How good is porter?! Dark and sweet this just keeps begs to be drunk with a smile. Black with fine brown lacy head. Sweet roasted malt nose just begs drinking. Sweet and syrupy it’s not unlike an imperial stout at first taste. Burnt malt woody flavour with a dry ashy finish.

Aug 5, 2006 Labeled as "Harveys Tom Paine Original Old Porter". Pours a very dark brown with a slight reddish hue to it. A very interesting porter. The aroma is more of raison than anything. Flavor is quite complex with hints of dark, dried fruit and some of the usual chocolate and coffee undertones. Reminds me a lot of an aged sherry or port. Very unique brew; probably more traditional. I will have to revisit this one again when I have more time to sit and ponder the flavors since this one is so different and complex. That’s what I love most about porters!
16.9 oz bottle, $4.30 at the Winking Lizard Tavern (Crosswoods).

Feb 24, 2004 Black as hell. Very dry and a bit sweet. A bit bready and bitter. This is a nice complex porter.
